FIG 1 , therectifier 36 and four pairs of the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are directly connected to thecooling element 24. However, a separation layer is usually arranged between therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38, respectively, on the one hand and thecooling element 24 on the other hand in order to prevent a direct contact between the components. In this example, therectifier 36 and the four pairs of the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are connected to thecooling element 24 by screws. Therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 require cooling. Therectifier 36 is provided for converting an input alternating current voltage into a pulsed direct current voltage. The pair of insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 acts as inverted rectifier and converts said pulsed direct current voltage into an alternating voltage for a corresponding induction coil. Usually, the input alternating current voltage has a frequency between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. In contrast, the frequency of the alternating voltage for the induction coils is between about 10 kHz and 100 kHz. - The
rectifier 36 is usually formed as a bridge rectifier circuit and formed by diodes. Therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are so-called power switches. The total electric power is delivered to therectifier 36 and insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38. The total electric power of eachinduction module 20 passes therectifier 38. Each pair of insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 is provided with a part of said total electric power. For example, up to about 50 % of the total electric power is delivered to one pair of insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38. Thus, therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 generate a lot of heat. - In this example, the
cooling element 24 is elongated, wherein therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are arranged in series along a longitudinal axis of saidcooling element 24. Therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are attached on a sloped cooling surface of thecooling element 24, wherein said sloped cooling surface forms a transition between a top surface and a lateral surface of thecooling element 24. The cooling fins extend along the longitudinal axis of thecooling element 24. Anair stream 34 generated by the coolingfan 26 passes thecooling element 24 along its longitudinal axis. Theair stream 34 passes successively therectifier 36 and each of the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38. Therectifier 36 or one insulated-gatebipolar transistor 38 may also use the sloped cooling surface beneath the neighboured insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38, which is advantageous, since the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38 are usually stressed by different powers. - In this example, the
cooling element 24 is formed as a single-piece part. Alternatively, thecooling element 24 may be multipart. Thecooling element 24 formed as single-piece part allows an efficient heat transfer. The cooling fins provide an extended surface within thecooling element 24, which contributes to the efficient heat transfer. Further, thecooling element 24 is relatively flat. The elongated andflat cooling element 24 requires only little space within thecasing 10 of the induction cooking hob. - Moreover, the
casing 10 includes two air guides 28. The air guides 28 are formed as vertical sheet elements and arranged in the front channel. The air guides 28 are made of metal or plastics. Eachair guide 28 corresponds with one of theinduction modules 20. The air guides 28 are arranged diagonally respective to the cooling fins of thecooling element 24 and to the front channel. Eachair guide 28 is arranged in front of thecorresponding cooling element 24. - Furthermore, each
lateral wall 18 of thecasing 10 includes a plurality of lateral outlet holes 30. Said lateral outlet holes 30 are arranged in the front portions of thelateral walls 18. A plurality of lower outlet holes 32 is formed in thebottom plate 12 of thecasing 10. Said lower outlet holes 32 are arranged in the front portions of the lateral channel between theinduction module 20 and the adjacentlateral wall 18. The lower outlet holes 32 are arranged beneath and beside the lateral outlet holes 30. -
FIG 2 illustrates a schematic top view of the induction cooking hob according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. - The induction cooking hob comprises the
casing 10 including thebottom plate 12, thefront wall 14, therear wall 16 and the bothlateral walls 18. The open top side of thecasing 10 is covered by the panel, which is not shown inFIG 2 . The bothinduction modules 20 are arranged side-by-side within thecasing 10. Theinduction modules 20 are arranged close to therear wall 16 of thecasing 10. Theinduction modules 20 are spaced from thefront wall 14 and the correspondinglateral wall 18 of thecasing 10. The front channel is formed between theinduction modules 20 and thefront wall 14 of thecasing 10. The both lateral channels are formed between theinduction modules 20 and the correspondinglateral wall 18 of thecasing 10. - The
induction modules 20 include thecircuitry 22, thecooling element 24 and the coolingfan 26 in each case. Thecircuitry 22 and thecooling element 24 are arranged side-by-side in the front portion of theinduction module 20. The coolingfan 26 is arranged behind thecooling element 24. On the output side thecircuitry 22 is electrically connected to the at least one induction coil. The induction coils are arranged above theinduction modules 20 and beneath the panel. The induction coils are not shown inFIG 2 . Thecircuitry 22 and thecooling element 24 are mechanically and thermally coupled to each other. Thus, heat is conducted from thecircuitry 22 to thecooling element 24. Thecooling element 24 is elongated and extends from the coolingfan 26 to the front channel. - The air guides 28 are formed as vertical sheet elements and arranged in the front channel between the
induction modules 20 and thefront walls 14. One of the air guides 28 corresponds with one of theinduction modules 20. The air guides 28 are arranged diagonally relative to the cooling fins of thecooling element 24 and to the front channel. Theair guide 28 is arranged in front of thecorresponding cooling element 24. - The lateral outlet holes 30 are arranged in the front portions of the
lateral walls 18. The lower outlet holes 32 are formed in thebottom plate 12 of thecasing 10, wherein said lower outlet holes 32 are arranged in the front portions of the lateral channel between theinduction module 20 and the adjacentlateral wall 18. Further, the lower outlet holes 32 are arranged beneath and beside the lateral outlet holes 30. - The cooling
fan 26 is a radial cooling fan and generates theair stream 34. The coolingfan 26 sucks air in a rear portion of thecasing 10 and blows theair stream 34 horizontally from the rear to the front. Saidair stream 34 enters the cooling channels formed between the cooling fins of thecooling element 24. Within thecooling element 24 theair stream 34 flows from the rear to the front. After theair stream 34 has left thecooling element 24, theair guide 28 deflects theair stream 34. Then, theair stream 34 flows along the front channel and against thelateral wall 18 of thecasing 10. On the left hand side ofFIG 2 , theair stream 34 flows from right to left within the corresponding front channel. In a similar way, theair stream 34 flows from left to right within the corresponding front channel on the right hand side ofFIG 2 . At last, theair stream 34 leaves thecasing 10 through the lateral outlet holes 30 and lower outlet holes 32. - The cooling
fan 26 is an active component, while thecooling element 24 is a passive component. The combination of the active coolingfan 26 and thepassive cooling element 24 provides an efficient cooling effect, since the coolingfan 26 delivers a big amount of cooling air through thecooling element 24. The cooling air removes permanently heat from therectifier 36 and the insulated-gatebipolar transistors 38. - In this example, the induction cooking hob comprises two
induction modules 20. In general, the induction cooking hob according to the present invention comprises two ormore induction modules 20. According to a further example, the induction cooking hob may comprise three ormore induction modules 20 arranged side-by-side. Theinduction modules 20 allow the preparation of different induction cooking hobs. - The induction cooking hob according to the present invention avoids that the air stream provided for cooling purposes reaches the user. A protection shield at the induction cooking hob is not required. Since the
induction modules 20 are spaced from the lateral outlet holes 30, it is not possible that the user touches thecircuitry 22 through said lateral outlet holes 30. - Although an illustrative embodiment of the present invention has been described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to that precise embodiment, and that various other changes and modifications may be affected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. All such changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
